Warwick District
Warwick District Personal Details: Name: Charles BOURNE E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: I am very pleased to see that the Boundary Commission has decided to proceed with its own proposals, rather than adopting any of those put forward by Warwick District Council or any of the political parties (although some of these were more reasonable than others!). I totally support the objective of the Boundary Commission of creating wards with the least variation from the population average, and aligning wards as far as possible with the County Council divisions adopted following their most recent revision. However, I wish particularly to express my SUPPORT for two aspects of the Boundary Commission's proposals, both of which "correct" very unfortunate aspects of the County Council boundaries: (1) To include the area between the railway line and the River Leam in Clarendon Ward rather than Brunswick. I live in this area and can categorically confirm that the community on and around Avenue Road/Adelaide Road identify with and consider ourselves part of Leamington Spa town centre and North Leamington (Clarendon Ward or Milverton Ward), and not South Leamington (Brunswick). I am very grateful that members of the Commission took the trouble to visit this area, and affirm their view that hard geographical features separate our area from Brunswick ward. (2) To broaden Milverton Ward across Kenilworth Road so that the ward is coherent, compact and geographically rational. I hope that whatever changes the Boundary Commission might make to these proposals as a result of this consultation, they will not make any alteration to these two elements.

This, of course, was the Oak to replace the original which had been felled in 1967. For several centuries the old Oak had been growing in the road at the junction of Lillington Road and Lillington Avenue, in a position more or less between the two flower beds on the present new roundabout. The decision to fell the Oak was made on Thursday 27th April after a 3 ton branch had fallen onto the pavement three days earlier.... and there is photographic evidence of the damage to the tree and the danger to the public.

1 Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 14
Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 14 Draft– June 2019 1 Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 14 Draft– June 2019 2029 Vision for Royal Leamington Spa “Royal Leamington Spa’s vibrant and diverse history gives our town its unique character and distinctive identity. It has become a thriving base of creative, cultural and technological innovation whilst nurturing its valued green spaces and community assets. Looking to our future, we will continue to conserve and protect our built heritage whilst promoting enhancements which allow us to reduce our impact on climate change, support sustainable economic development, build innovative housing, support effective integrated transport systems and contribute to a healthy town.” 1 Jephson Gardens 2 Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 14 Draft– June 2019 Foreword Royal Leamington Spa is a Town with a brief but relatively rich history. It owes much to the Victorian fascination with the curative properties of Spa water which was the principal reason for its rapid growth from a small hamlet of only 300 people in 1801 to over 27,000 one hundred years later. Throughout the period of the industrial era of the late 19th Century and the expansion of the railways, Leamington remained at the forefront of the growth in urbanisation with much of the architectural diversity seen today a result of this expansion. Throughout its history, the Town has embraced change and continues to do so. This is seen in the decline of traditional manufacturing industries and the rise of new technological solutions, evidenced in the establishment of a growing digital media sector which has earned the Town the soubriquet “Silicon Spa”.

In 2011 the gardens were redeveloped, with new footpaths and new planting schemes replacing the old and tired shrubs. The benches were also revamped and fencing put in place to prevent the grass from being worn away. In addition, the walls were rebuilt to help retain the grass and provide alternative seating. During this time, thousands of crocuses were planted with help from local schools, the Friends of Christchurch Gardens and Warwick District Council.

WHY NOT VISIT the Lillington Local History Society Website The website address is: www.lillingtonhi story.org Images Andrew Hobbs 1 MANOR FARM ESTATE – The Pre-War Years At the beginning of the 20th Century, the development of Lillington was more or less confined to the area around St Mary Magdalene Church, the Manor House and Manor Farm. A map dated 1903 shows that the terraced houses in Manor Road and Farm Road (or Farm Lane as it was then called) had been built, along with two pairs of semi-detached houses in Vicarage Road. A number of houses along the South side of Cubbington Road, either side of the school, pre-dated this, but most of these are long since demolished. By the early 1920s, Vicarage Road was complete and more terraced houses had been built in Lime Avenue between Cubbington Road and the Smithy Club, presumably the present Lillington (Working Men’s) Club, opposite the end of Manor Road.

Lillington Parish Magazine St Mary Magdalene's Church
Lillington Parish Magazine St Mary Magdalene’s Church DECEMBER 2018 1 FROM THE VICAR Dear Friends, In the run up to Christmas last year I read that the average household expects to spend £174 on food and drink for December 25th alone. Over the course of our lives it is estimated that we will each spend around £54,000 on Christmas! People prepare for Christmas in different ways but the trend towards consumerism seems to be ever on the increase. Christmas is certainly a time for giving presents, after all it has its origins in God giving us Jesus. God’s gift to us is himself. But God’s present to us is not something that we can measure financially and it isn’t something that is gift wrapped with lots of glitter and glitz. Each year the decorations and the displays seem to come a little earlier and the survey certainly suggested that each year we spend more and more on purchasing Christmas. When God gave himself to us in Jesus he could have done it in the most spectacular and glorious way. Had he come according to earthly standards the cash registers would have been ringing well in advance. God’s ways, however, are so often different from our own. Yet while they are often different they are, nevertheless, perfectly in tune with our needs. And our need is not so much presents but presence. The incarnation is the gift of God’s presence, Emmanuel – God with us. It’s not always possible to be with our friends and loved ones at Christmas.
